Asked by Jack
A value of the number m for which there is either no solution or an infinite number of solutions (u,w) to the system of equations shown below is:
6u-w=6
mu+6w=-2
6u-w=6
mu+6w=-2

If m = -36, there is no solution because the two equations could not both be true simultaneously.
-36u + 6w = -2 is the same as saying that
6u -w = 1/3
which contradicts the first equation.
-36u + 6w = -2 is the same as saying that
6u -w = 1/3
which contradicts the first equation.
